    Is the equipment shortage ending? Probably not, but look at this JD dealer's lot.

    Or, the green machines are just not in high demand! ;) Have a great day OTT. Jay

    Field Borders?

    Fire is an awesome tool when used in the right situation, I use it to control a number of invasive species in some of my wood lots. I always have fire breaks and back burn into the wind. Sounds like this would be a good fit for it. Create the fire breaks around it and some through it then...

    At my deer lease 100 acres is field, very hilly so a lot of edges. The farmer plants edge to edge! I discussed with him why he did this, no till planting all the roads and to the wood line every year. Only for me to spend 8 to 10 hours cutting down a 8' wide path around the edges and 2 paths...

    Will this idea work?

    Curious as to what you will use it for? Here in NC I rarely see anyone turning over soil anymore. I do see them used to create berms across fields to prevent erosion. And the rare occasion turning over a fallow field. Either way I think you could prolly modify a double to suit your needs...

    RCW, a long time ago when I was a young boy I was over at my Granny's house where I stayed a lot she was my buddy. I was maybe 12, she had cooked drop biscuits for dinner, one of my favorites. I do miss them she has been gone for years now. I thought I would clean her biscuit pan, I mean it was...

    Changed fuel filter, won’t start!!

    This happened to me, changed my fuel filter open fuel line, fuel flowed in but it would crank and knock off. Over and over. I finally figured out I put the filter in upside down so the spring in the bottom could not fit in the recessed area in the filter. Flipped filter over and she fired right...

    New Use…for Old Hyd Oil?

    I use my oil to mix 50/50 with diesel fuel to coat the bottom of posts, soon will be using to coat floor of trailer I'm buying. When I do have a surplus I have 2 Auto Zones and 1 NAPA store I carry it to for recycling. They are both close by, they only except up to 5 gallons at a time. No cost...

    How much does it cost an hour to operate mx5400

    I agree I would think rental companies have already done the math with some added so they make money on the rental. Good baseline to start with though I believe.

    L4701 4 Wheel Drive not engaging

    I have a L4600 older cousin to yours. What works for me is to engage and disengage is to push down or pull up on the handle and slowly ease out on the clutch in a low gear. It seems that reverse works the best for either or, no data to support this but it works. Give it a try, press down and...

    Any Gravel Spreading Tips?

    I think Greensvillejay covered it but I'll add put a ballast other that the blade on the back if you have something heavier. Just as stated fill bucket, I lift my bucket so just above the hood height so I can see in pouring out as I back up. Repeat...…… After it is spread thinly I then drive...

    3rd Function advice

I'm not implying others are not good but watch some of the YouTube videos of hem testing implements and tours of their facility. I think you...

    I have had the LP QH15 for about 4 years and love it. Not all my implements are QH compatible but even though they are not it is still real simple hook up. No more kicking the lift arm to get it to slide over the lift pins. I made bushings from a piece of galvanized pipe I had. The id was...

    Do not check this out!!!

    Regular was $2.85 this morning and diesel was $3.15 here in NC. Need to fill my non ethanol cans but I've not been able to find any this week at the stores I typically trade with. Trying again on way home tonight. I only run it in my atvs, mower, weed eaters, blowers etc.

    Flat vs dovetail trailer

    I last used a 16' flat trailer to haul my L4600, with the loader on I could not get the rear wheels over the axles. I removed the loader and with the bush hog attached could make it work! After that I ordered a 20' dove tail trailer which I'm still waiting delivery on. Loading on the flat...
